According to a recent study, iOS (which includes the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad) recently became the third most operating system on the Web with 1.1 percent of all hardware on the Internet during August. This pushed it ahead of Linux, which fell to a 0.85 percent share

“It’s something to take note of when a mobile operating system passes something that’s been around forever,” said Vince Vizzaccaro, Net Applications vice president. “Mobile’s growth curve is strong, and mobile is becoming quite a phenomenon on the Internet.”

“When you combine all the different devices, mobile has a 2.6 percent share,” added Vizzaccaro. “That’s massive when you think about it.”
